Hey I'm new to this app. I had my sleeve surgery on Aug. 6, 2012, I have lost about 40lbs. Many days I have set backs and wamma snack all day. Also have realize that if I drink more I lost more, there has been days where I get discouraged and need someone to talk to, so im happy ie found this because maybe this could help me out. I'm Bridney by the way.

Hi Newbody, I also had my surgery Aug 6th. I lost 24lbs pre-op & 21lbs post. Omg I understand where you're coming from so far this has been a hard struggle.

It feels like the weight isn't coming off but I know it is and other people see it and I see it when I weight in. I started at 397 in January and had lost 25lbs pre-op, and since than i have 50lbs post-op. How often do you work out and what do you eat and how often do you eat?

to Newbody12: I walk 2 miles 5 days out of the week if I get the chance some days I try to get to 3 miles. I eat healthy 60% of the time to be honest, which I know it should be all the time, old habits do die hard. I eat every 3-4 hours, but I have to remind myself cause otherwise I can go 5-6 hours & realize I haven't ate. But in between my meals I drink Water all the time. How about yourself?

I walk like 3x a week and I have started running also. I eat healthy but like you said old habits die hard lol, it's only like 2 days out of the month I crazy. I also think it's harder because I don't have a stove because I live on school campus and only eat TV dinners. I'm also like you because I don't get hungry so I have to make myself eat and my surgeon only wants me to eat 3x day and no snacking in between, but I also find it hard to get all my calories, but I get enough Protein.< /p>

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
